2w ago - Today Sony is offering a free PS4 Dynamic Theme for those who preorder the PlayStation Heroes application, which allows users to play video games with celebrities.

To quote from DualShockers.com (linked at the top of this article): "If you want a new PS4 theme for free, all you have to do is to pre-order the PlayStation Heroes app, through which it will be possible to purchase other themes for charity.

The app itself is free, and will be available on February 24th. By pre-ordering it, the free PS4 theme will immediately added to your download list.

The theme has an animated background, but no music or custom sounds. Yet, it's quite elegant (and the animated system icons are definitely spiffy), it's promoting a good cause, and its free, so what's not to love?

Oh, and you can do all of this right in your PS4 browser. So genius, Tesla himself must have come up with it!

To quote: Hello outlaws! The team here at Switchblade Monkeys is thrilled to announce The Hunting Ground, our first major content drop for Secret Ponchos coming to your PS4 February 17th, 2015.

Our goal is to keep the game evolving and growing over time, so it keeps getting better and better.

What's in this expansion?

A lot! With The Hunting Ground update we aimed to make sure we provide content for everyone: those who want to support us in expanding the game by purchasing some DLC, and our players who just love Secret Ponchos and want free new content.

New Content

We learned a lot from community feedback since the PS+ launch of our game, and we've been working hard on many improvements. Being a tiny indie team, we aimed to putout a game that's fun and deep, but to do that it would have to start small. One of the things we heard the most is "more content", so we took that to heart and here it is! Included are 2 new maps - for FREE.

Additionally, our artists wanted to show a gesture of appreciation for our community, and have built a custom exclusive unlockable...

5w ago - Alientrap's Lee Vermeulen announced today that Apotheon is coming to PlayStation 4 on February 3rd, and will be free for PS Plus subscribers!

Below are the details, to quote: So in our last post we said that Apotheon would be launching sometime in January. Turns out we were off by a few days. Apotheon will actually be launching on February 3rd, 2015. But, we've got a really good excuse!

The reason for the short delay is because Apotheon will also be featured as part of Playstation Plus, and will be free for the month of February to all Playstation Plus subscribers for PS4! Check out our new launch trailer showing off a bit of our voice acting talent.

While sorting out all the paperwork involved with this deal, we've had a bit of extra time to do even more optimizations and playtesting to polish off the last few bugs. With the help of Sickhead Games doing the PS4 version, we're very happy with how the game has shaped up, and are very excited to finally release it to the world!

Back when we first started development in 2012, our original aspirations were much different. Apotheon actually started life as a sci-fi open world game where the player could sneak around a giant space station and cause trouble...
